The Rugby Players’ Association welcomes Rhead Group as Official Supplier

Rhead Group, a leading international professional services consultancy, has today been confirmed as Official Supplier to the Rugby Players’ Association (the RPA) and title sponsor of the England Player of the Year Award to be presented at this year’s RPA Computacenter Players’ Awards 2014.

Rhead Group has built a strong track record of delivering large infrastructure programmes for the energy, power generation, transport and utility sectors with over 25 years’ experience of managing major capital construction projects valued at over £5 billion per year. The Group’s strong reputation and successful growth are a testament to the quality of their people and the continued support and trust that clients place with them.

Nigel Curry, CEO of Rhead Group, said: “We are delighted to be an Official Supplier to the RPA and title sponsor of the England Player of the Year Award. Many of the skills needed to win at rugby are identical to those required to construct major infrastructure projects. This sponsorship builds on our work with the RPA focusing on players’ professional development after their rugby careers. We are looking forward to working with the RPA on developing additional support programmes and business mentoring going forward.
